Claxton officially dealt to Warriors

(6/25/09) The Hawks acquired guard Jamal Crawford from the Golden State Warriors on Thursday for guards Acie Law and Speedy Claxton, hours before the NBA draft. The deal was completed after Crawford signed paperwork indicating he won't opt out of his contract and become a free agent. He is due to make nearly $20 million the next two years.

Warriors pick up guard Claxton

(6/25/09) According to media reports, the Golden State Warriors are close to trading Jamal Crawford to the Hawks in exchange for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton. The deal is expected to be finalized as soon as Crawford signs a document stating he will not opt out of the final two years of his contract, which he has the right to do until June 30.

Claxton returns from two-year absence

(4/15/09) Atlanta PG Speedy Claxton, a $25 million free-agent bust, actually played for the first time in more than two years on Tuesday night against the Heat. Claxton was the main attraction on this night. He signed a four-year deal in 2006 to be the Hawks' starting point guard, but injuries and poor play made him persona non grata in Atlanta. He had not played since March 3, 2007, when he turned in 15 scoreless minutes against the New York Knicks. "It was fun," he said. "It felt a little weird to be out on the court, a little bit rusty." Claxton played seven minutes, missing his only two shots, doling out one assist, and put up an airball on a free throw attempt, drawing groans from fans who still wonder why the Hawks gave him so much money. But he swished the second for his first point of the season, which averages out to $5.7 million per point. "I was so nervous," Claxton said. "After I airballed the first one, I knew I had to make that second one."

Claxton has missed every game

(11/19/08) Hawks PG Speedy Claxton (hamstring) did not return to action Wednesday against the Wizards. He has still not played in 2008-09 and has no timetable for a return.
